American influence on the world

Ever wondered why americans call themselves different? I never wonder coz i know for sure why they are different. American society was always founded on the very word "Freedom". This word was perhaps the first think a child learns before even identifying english words or even his/her parents.

One of the other things about america and which is equally important is their power to influence other countries which were distinctively different from them for e.g.China or india. We followed americans on everything we did in the last couple of years. We followed them with MTV, we did the same with fashion brands, we did it with neverendingcrap soap operas. Although we are born in different countries we are half-americans today. Yes, dont believe yourself, but its true. Try to jot down 10 things you did which were anywhere not influenced by america. I am sure you wont come out with many...what you got 4..look closely..even they might have some influence.

It was the early stage of internet back in india and chatting was a new concept to an indian. Thankfully, i had a PC then and freakin dialup connection with a spedd of 33 KBPS. (damn..i cant even think about it.) I remember talking to an american in yahoo chat rooms, when i told him i live in mumbai, india (i used to live there before moving to singapore), he wasn't too sure about where india is. Man i couldnt stop laughing. That day i realised that most of the americans are in their own world. they feel there is nothing beyond america and america is the world for them.

Neverthless sooner or later, they realised that there is someone more power(fool) and that was Mr. Laden. The old frd of america who paid back his debts. Americans now are more literate about the world. They know where is Iraq, they also know about being banglored (loosing a job to an indian).

Whatever the globalisation gave to the asian countries is of debate but one thing for sure it gave them a "Value" and a "Image".

If americans know YOU...YOU really made a difference. Trust me its hard to make your BOSS realise your value :-)

Americans get ready to be fingerprinted!

Iran (too scared of americans) has now made fingerprinting identity checks for all americans entering iran.

"All US citizens should be controlled and subjected to digital fingerprinting when they are issued with a visa and when they enter Iran," according to the bill, adopted after a debate broadcast live on state radio.

"This law comes in response to the American practice of taking digital fingerprints of sportsmen, political officials and other Iranians, sometimes with an insulting attitude," MP Kazem Jalali said during the debate.

WOW..now thats what i call a revenge..Wonder what will be the rules for George W Bush while entering Iran on his next trip sometime. LOL..they might get his a$$ scanned. lol.

The Morning Line

From today each business day, i will be writing a Morning Line. A daily quick news bit from my desk.

1) Prez Bush on the run to Hanoi
Well poor prez is on the run again this time trying to vow wounded Vietnam. This APEC, you can expect a cautious prez talking favourable about Asia-Pac countries. Its highly likely that britain might stop supporting prez now over a period. Bush now trying to find old asian frds for the rest of his time@ office. Good luck bush..Its time to pay for Iraq.

2) Sinapore Rains:
Damn the singapore rain caught me twice since yesterday. Yesterday afternoon during lunch and now morning, the rain lashed singapore for not more than 10 mins. However, made a lill damage to my new giovani shirt...:-( lol.

Bush visiting Singapore

Poor Mr. Bush after loosing with democrats in the mid term elections is now on the run. The screws have tighten up his a$$ to get moving and show the americans that he is worth the next 2 years in office. I wouldnt be suprised to see many lucrative benefits for asians in the next few months to gain popularity from asian leaders and overall support for the north korea issue.

Have a good one Mr. Bush and i am sure you would like singapore :-) just like we all like in here *Wink*

Enjoy ur stay and relax in Asia coz its going to be a bumpy road ahead when you return in office.
